Hi All,

I planted 2 Rosella Purple which I tried last year and loved the flavor. Deep, rich, complex, just a touch of sweetness. It was not super productive last year. Maybe I got 15 tomatoes from it all season but this is the first time I could grow a Beefsteak at all because I live so close to the ocean and stays too cool.

Last year I also planted New Big Dwarf. It is big, beautiful red beefsteak. I thought the flavor was just ok. Way better than anything you can get in the store but didn't make it back into my garden this year. I will say that it was the most productive plant I could imagine. I think I got around 70 tomatoes from a 4 foot plant. Amazing.

So trying this year, Dwarf Emerald Green and Dwarf Tasmanian Chocolate. We will see what happens.

Hope everyone has a great tomato season.
